Abstract
A split electrical connector housing comprises a first housing and a second housing independent from the first housing. The first housing has a plurality of contact receiving compartments and a projection extending from an outer surface thereof. The second housing has a first housing receiving opening that receives the first housing. An elastic arm is formed on an outer surface of the second housing. The elastic arm has a protrusion that extends into the first housing receiving opening and engages the projection as the first housing is received in the first housing receiving opening. The elastic arm is biased upward by the projection to change a contour of the outer surface of the second housing when the first housing is partially received in the second housing.
